Question:
Anyone else have this problem? leg ache
My legs ache ALL the time and it also goes into my arms at times, I am 3 yrs post op, I take all the vitamins I'm suppose to, but I still get NO relief. I go days without sleep, I feel like I'm losing my mind, it affects all aspects in my life. Anyone have any suggestions. — Lisa W. (posted on September 12, 2005)

I have Restless Leg Syndrome and my legs ache alot too. There is an odd
rememdy that might help your legs it does mine, alot of the times. Take a
regular bar of soap, not Dove or Ivory, but a regular bar of deoderant soap
and place on the bottom sheet of your bed. Make sure that your leg(s) are
touching the bar of soap. Sounds odd I know, but as a southerner I use
alot of the old rememdies. If this problem keeps getting worse PLEASE
contact your doctor have it checked out. Tylenol P.M. or it's equivelant
may work at night. I hope that this helps. God bless.

Hi, what does you bloodwork look like? Is all ok with Calcium, Magnesium
and potasium? There are imbalances in electrolyctes that will cause these
leg aches as well. Really important to get the doctor to check on this
problem. Hope your feeling better soon.

Have you seen a doctor? It may have absolutely nothing to do with being a
post-op. There are lots of things that can cause aches and none of us on
this site are qualified to diagnose. I had leg aches and general body
aches for years and finally found that I had thyroid disease but I sure
spent a lot of time and money trying to find out what it was. If you
haven't seen a doctor, please do go see one and explain your symptoms.

What exactly is your vitamin regimen like? When were your last labs and how
many pages were they of finished report? Have you been collecting copies
and comparing them?

The obvious advice would be for you to go see either your surgeon or your
PCP.

my legs hurt before my surgery and they said after i start loosing weight
it should go away but it did not by the time i lost 60 and then 80 lbsl it
seem to get woorse finally my psp refr me to a neuroligist and she ran some
test found out the i have nerve damage in my left leg from being over

I have suffered like this for years now. I have fibromyalgia (spelling may
be off). I don't sleep well at night without help (trazadone). But the best
thing to do is ask your PCP. When I didn't get a deep sleep the rest of my
time was bad. You need sleep and fibromyalgia or restless leg sydrom will
stop you. Ask your PCP for the answer. God Bless

I also have suffered from this for years. I have fibromyalgia. I have to
take trazadone and clonapin at night so that I get sleep. I also have
restless leg syndrome. You have to get at least 4 full hours of sleep
(called rem sleep) to keep your body going. Talk to your doctor about it.
Good luck and God Bless!

you should talk to your doctor. Maybe you need quinine. Or get las done to
rule out calcium and potassium deficiencies. Good luck.
